This was the 1940s; there was no television. It was a different age - it was not swamped by media; it was swamped by reality, and storytelling was a very big art where I came from.

I'm a very big Faulkner fan 'cause I'm a Southerner.

Where I came from, no one was a writer.

Our moon was born too small to harbor life. It came from the collision of a Mars-sized world into the primordial Earth. From that colossal crunch spun a disk of rocks that condensed into a satellite.

I came from a big family... a big family of Southerners.

I came to acting in a very circuitous way.
